[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I expect a thank you I I am sending in a Christmas gift - not a thank you gift.

My card says Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I usually receive a thank you card. One exception - the principal has NEVER sent a thank you in 8 years of having kids at the school. She's never thanked the kids, as it goes into her inbox. We've decided to stop giving any sort of gift to her.

FWIW - I am a teacher, my mom's a teacher as is my aunt, female cousin (a principal) and all my sisters. We all send thank you cards. [/quote]

The principal of my school is in charge of 850+ students.  She gets about 300 Christmas gifts, mostly small things like baked goods.  You REALLY expect her to hand-write THREE HUNDRED thank you cards?  I can see doing that for wedding gifts that cost hundreds of dollars each, but for a small token gift, it seems ridiculous.  As a parent, I would never expect this of a busy principal.  It would not at all be a good use of her time![/quote]
